Course info (not a schedule unfortunately) is found here: https://www.wlu.ca/programs/social-work/graduate/social-work-msw/program-details/index.html Course registration opens mid-May, but before then you might find the Fall 2017 schedule on here: https://telaris.wlu.ca/ssb_prod/bwckschd.p_disp_dyn_sched Is there a FB group for Laurier MSWs this year?

I was wondering that too There's a 2017 group, perhaps just copy that one but change the year?

I also applied to the part time program, and in the email after I sent in my application it said part time letters go out in the end of April. Hope all is well for you!

I got an email and then my LORIS account changed. All the best everyone, I heard at the info night at Laurier that over 600 people applied and 90 people got into the full time program. Looking forward to meeting you!

Oh my word! I GOT IN TO LAURIER!!! (My last name starts with a V) I actually can't believe it!! :""""D

Congratulations! Oh boy that's exciting! Where did you see that it changed on LORIS? I've been wondering where to look haha

I was just going to say the same thing! Come on Laurier...!! Not like our whole lives depend on this one letter or anything haha

I'm a Laurier undergrad student and I've recieved emails to check my LORIS account before, so there should be something sent out, hopefully!

Getting so anxious about this! Like really, how many more times can I check my email, LORIS and the TWO mailboxes on my house hahaha

Waiting on Laurier is brutal!

So, how many other people who applied to Laurier are starting to get pretty anxious...? ??? For the 2 year program, we should hear back this week or next, and the part-time program will hear back at the end of April. (this info was in an email I received from the admin office) Did anyone else apply to both?

I'd like to know this too! Like really, should I be checking my email, LORIS, or mailbox? Not like I don't check each one every day already... haha

Hello! I've been scrolling through this feed for a while now - I applied to Laurier for their full-time program and the part-time program. The waiting has been brutal! I was wondering - I have some job interviews coming up this week. How do you suggest I share with these potential employers about how I'm waiting to hear about school...? One job is a 'real job' and the other is a summer seasonal job. If I am not accepted, I'd obviously want to take the full-time year-round, 'real job' offer! But, I don't want to accept that job only to leave before my contract is up. What would / have you done? Thanks! Happy waiting!

Hello, I'm new to this site and I'm wondering if anyone has some wisdom to share. In 2015 I graduated from Laurier with a 3-year General Arts degree, and now I'm returning Fall 2016 for one more year to upgrade to a 4 year Honours BA in combination. I want to be very intentional during this year to prepare my application for a MSW at Laurier. What would you suggest? I haven't calculated my hours, but I'm volunteered for the past 10 years with various groups. I've been a camp councillor, youth community group leader, volunteered at the Ray of Hope community centre, Laurier's Peer Help Line, The Working Centre, as an equestrian therapy lesson volunteer and I spent a year living in an intentional community learning about relational leadership, then we travelled for a year working with youth ... but, I have a two/three year gap in my experience. In 2014, I was diagnosed with adrenal exhaustion and left Laurier, my job and spent my days resting. I was fully burnt out. Over the past two years I have learned more about holistic health and been on a healing journey. I've learned a lot from this experience I'm continuing to be as an equestrian therapy volunteer, but where else would you recommend? Are there some certificates I should also be getting during this year? As I researched next steps and what jobs I was interested in, an MSW was always a requirement, but I'm open in terms of what area I specialize in. Part of the challenge I'm noticing is that on paper (my resume and degree) I don't think I look like I'd be suited for social work, but in person I've had many people suggest it. I have a high cultural and emotional intelligence, but you can't get a degree in that just yet. I'd love to just hear your thoughts and suggestions. I'm open! Thanks so much.
